Creating a Backup

On the last screen, you're provided with the option to create a backup unencrypted database. This is important, as it allows you to recover your data if you forget a user password down the road. It's good practice to create the backup, save it to a CD and then store the CD in a safe location. Once you've created your backup CD, you should delete the unencrypted file from your hard disk to protect it from prying eyes.

Congratulations! You've implemented user-level security on your database!
